Hi - I’ve been a suscriber for a couple of months now and just wanted to say thanks for wicked tutorials.
Just working through the Prodigy tutorial, but using Cubase 4.5 & Battery 3 instead of Ableton. All going well so far - BUT, the two zip file downloads don’t seem to contain any MIDI files for the bass line etc? Is this because they are in an Ableton file format? Any way I could import them into Cubase?
So for non-Ableton users, the way around this is to download the trial version of Ableton and load up the provided project file, and export the bass & lead MIDI as MIDI files.
So prob having a discussion with myself, but I’m finding Cubase 4.5.2 pretty unstable working through the Prodigy tutorials - and I’m wondering if it’s Sylenth1 that’s causing it (got version 2.01).
I’m even considering switching to Ableton and restarting the whole
tutorial. Shame considering I spent a whole wad of cash buying Cubase 4 at the beginning of the year. Not planning on upgrading to Cubase 5 either.
the midi parts uploaded to the video page…
are you running on PC? ive found cubase 4.5 to be really stable for me… tho i havnt been using it much with sylenth.
Thanks 
Yeah I’m running on a PC, bought it in Jan this year (upgrade from SX3), and it’s been been pretty stable so far - until I started using Sylenth a fair bit with the Prodigy tutorial (up to the vocals one). I’m pretty sure it’s Sylenth - generally it’s OK, but after a few hours of stability one of the sylenth channels just won’t output any sound, even after a reset, and then Cubase begins a little freezing game. Then it’s a reboot or consistent crashing.
Anyway, I’m going to restart the tutorials using the trial version of Ableton. About time I checked it out, seems pretty powerful. Always good to get to know other sequencers…
